三段峡
13-kilometer gorge of towering cliffs and emerald pools, one of Japan's top five scenic gorges.
One of Japan's top five scenic gorges, stretching 13 kilometers through dramatic rock formations along the Shiwaki River in Akiota, Hiroshima. Towering cliffs, moss-covered boulders, crystal-clear pools, and thundering waterfalls create a stunning backdrop along the well-maintained hiking trail. The gorge is particularly spectacular during autumn when maples and beeches paint the canyon walls in brilliant reds and golds, drawing visitors from across western Japan.
